Only thing is Real will have qualified after the next Liverpool game so can play a weak team for the final 2 games

Ludos home form.has been fantastic.. Gave Madrid a real run, and now a win against Basel..

Pool getting something from there is by no means a guarantee.. Pool did a snatch and grab against them in Anfield..

He has been such a disappointment so far, expected him to feel his way in a bit, but as you said looks to be just going through the motions

Ah of course. But I'll bite your hand off if a win there sends you through.

Esp after this muck.

The Countess looks like a goal could give him the boost up needed but he does look like a rabbit in the headlights.

Liverpool match thread.

Sunday.

Enjoyed that, real gulf in class there and when you throw awful defending into the mix Liverpool were lucky enough to come out of that just beaten by 3.

Rodgers Balotelli gamble is pleasing me more each week, huge gaffe by Rodgers.

A few of you need to review the mod warning linked in the OP. I strongly suggest you do so. Cards will follow.

I'd be expecting a win. They clearly had the Madrid tactics figured out in the second half. Start with a striker in the return game and they should get the win.

Still early but it was worth the gamble for me even though it looks like a mistake. I'd give him a few games with Sturridge before fully judging him.

You could be right, I don't wanna go into the other thread but can you tell me why it came to that though? In terms of getting a striker in? Balotelli was being whored around by Milan to anyone to get rid of him, but how come Liverpool had not addressed the striker situation before it got to looking at taking a gamble on him?

According to the Rte lads Rodgers said he "looked in Balotellis eyes and knew blah blah blah" did he really come out with that waffle?

The three lads on RTE absolutely burying Mario. I think he should be given more of a chance before people write him off.

Mario Swapping jerseys at half-time?? He's getting slated for it at the moment.

Think they were completely over the top imo. Saying that Balo swapped shirts to deliberately wind up Liverpool fans. wtf ?!

That was Didi's opinion.

I think he could be right, he did it at pitch side instead of in private.

Pathetic behaviour in my opinion, you should be focussed on other things at half time especially when losing 3-0.

Make sure you have the same warning ready for the Chelsea match on Sunday.....

I don't agree with it but to say he did it on purpose, to wind up Liverpool fans is over the top.

Liam McPoyle

Nothing to be embarrassed about in fairness. Madrid are poles ahead so the result was to be expected.

For the couple of LFC fans in here getting in a lather about United fans posting in the thread dont be worrying, when we get spanked by Chelsea on Sunday ye can get yer jollies there!

Ive seen this done loads of times.
I think because he has a bad name that it looks worse than it is.

Real a couple of levels above Liverpool and game over at half time.Real just strolled around the pitch for the second half in complete control which really suited them considering the important game this weekend.

I don't expect much from the game but that's neither here nor there ha.

Just making sure things stay consistent.....

I said yesterday that real would win by three but expected perhaps a 4-1. Balotelli was a horrible signing, both in terms of the required mentality to play for a historic club like Liverpool, but also tactically. I said it before, stunned ye bought him when someone like Beharino would be much better as backup to Sturridge or alongside him at times. The quicker Sturridge comes back the better as there is little attacking threat without him leading the line.

Madrid tactic figured out? you mean when madrid took the foot off the gas, when it was already 3-0 and have their biggest game of the season on Saturday?..

ah ya Genius from Rodgers..

The Mod Warning was about silly bickering at the start of the thread. Nothing got to do with making excuses. We all just expect to see some consitancy in the match threads that's all he was pointing out in fairness.

Thank you! Ha.

Just so it's known to mods or whoever I'm not in here starting **** or whatever I just seen what was posted and hope the same will happen on Sunday.

It's all well and good having a laugh between fans but way this forum has gone between Liverpool and United fans is gone beyond a joke its ruining things for everyone and I tend to not post in match threads anymore cause of it.

Anyway that's end of that it's off topic.

Kharrell

Fairly expected result. Difference in class told. The first goal was unreal, but the defending for the other two as ever with Liverpool was woeful. Whenever I watch Liverpool, I continue to question how Skrtel is a starter for them, he must have dirt on the last few managers or something. Lovern likewise this season for them. Gerrard offered very little once more. Real had acres of space in and around that area of the pitch. Can did more than him in his time on the pitch after he replaced him.

Dodged a bullet with Ludogorets scoring at the end of their game.

excuses? nope it was a fair point.. if a specific post is made re bickering in one thread, it's hardly too much to hope the same point is carried through to Sunday..

Don't think any of us have positives reservations about Sunday int he slightest!

There is still time for Rodgers to get something out of Balotelli but he had better sort it out because I can't see Balotelli pushing himself. I think if he hasn't scored a couple of goals by Christmas and made a noticeable turnaround in performance then he never will but it's not his fault that Rodgers plays him alone or out of position. There were moments tonight when Mario was crossing the ball into the box for Sterling, that should be the other way round.

A comfortable win for Madrid and Ronaldo's goal was something else.

Whatever about signing him, at least know not to play him as the only striker. It's so ****ing infuriating.

The attitude is more important than the goals if Sterling and Sturridge are scoring and the likes of Lallana/Markovic chip in.

Your one on RTE with the clipboard. She looks like she's about to start knocking on doors trying to get you to sign up to Sky.

At some point you need to stop looking at all the individual players and start looking at how they are being coached tbh

The defending has not improved one bit since he came in, Lovren didn't become a bad defender when he signed for ye

I didnt mention anyone winning or losing all i was getting at was i hope the mods give out the same warning on Sunday during the Chelsea match when the inevitable happens in the match thread.

Assuming I can get online on Sunday, I'll be sticking it in the OP. I'm as sick of this stuff as ye are, if not moreso.

Enough about the mod warning, this is off-topic. Any more questions, pm me.
